able to weather any storm. Thank you God for refreshing
my soul tonight. May your peace and joy feel me

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's Sleep Psalm by Prey dot com.
We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and four.
Breathe in and out slowly. Relax your body. Relax your
neck and shoulders. Rest your hands gently by your side

(03:30):
or on your lap. Make sure your back is flat
and straight. Take a deep breath through your nose. Feel
the air push through your lungs and into the depths
of your belly. Hold your breath for a few seconds.
Exhale slowly, and feel the air flow throughout your body

(03:54):
as your belly receds. Close your eyes and imagine walking
through a beautiful, peaceful wooded area. Hear the birds chirping.
Hear the leaves rustling as the squirrels scurry across the ground.
Feel the gentle breeze blow through the trees gently swaying

(04:17):
the tree branches back and forth. Take a deep, cleansing breath.
Feel the crisp, clean air. Rejuvenate your lungs. Exhale slowly,
and allow the air to restore your body as it
flows through every bone, muscle, and joint. Marvel at the

(04:41):
beauty of God's creation. Know the hands that created the
world and all its creatures are the same hands that
will sustain you and protect you every day and night.
Breathe in the life God, breathe into us. Breathe out
your fears and worries. Allow the presence of your creator

(05:06):
to calm your mind and gladden your heart. To night,
as we prepare to listen to God's word, Let's ask
him to fill our minds and hearts with his praise
and joy. May our meditation be pleasing to him. Psalm
one hundred and four from the King James version says,

(05:28):
bless the Lord, O my soul, O Lord, my God,
thou art very great, Thou art clothed with honor and majesty,
who coverest thyself with light as with the garment, who
stretchest out the heavens like a curtain, who layeth the
beams of his chambers, and the waters, who maketh the clouds,

(05:51):
his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind,
who maketh his angel, spirits his ministers, a flaming fire,
who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should
not be removed forever. Thou coveredst it with the deep,
as with a garment. The waters stood above the mountains.

(06:13):
At thy rebuke, they fled. At the voice of thy thunder,
they hastened away. They go up by the mountains, They
go down by the valleys, unto the place which thou
hast founded for them. Thou hast set a bound that
they may not pass over, that they turn not again

(06:34):
to cover the earth. He sendeth the springs into the
valleys which run among the hills. They give drink to
every beast of the field. The wild asses quench their thirst.
By them. Shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,
which sing among the branches. He watereth the hills from

(06:56):
his chambers. The earth is satisfied with the fruit of
thy works. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,
and irn for the service of man, that he may
bring forth food out of the earth. And wine that
maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make
his face shine, and bread which strengtheneth the man's heart.

(07:19):
The trees of the Lord are full of sap, the
cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted where the birds
make their nests. As for the stork, the furred trees
are her house. The high hills are a refuge for
wild goats, and the rocks for the conies. He appointed
the moon for seasons. The sun knoweth his going down.

(07:42):
Thou makest darkness, and it is night wherein all the
beasts of the forest do creep. Forth, the young lions
roar after their prey and seek their meat from God.
The sun ariseth. They gather themselves together and lay them
down in their dens. Man goeth forth unto his work

(08:03):
and to his labor, until the evening. O Lord, how
manifold are thy works in wisdom, hast thou made them all.
The earth is full of thy riches. So is this
great and wide. See wherein are things creeping innumerable, both
small and great beasts. There go the ships. There is

(08:26):
the Leviathan, whom thou hast made to play. Therein these
wait all upon thee, that thou mayest give them their
meat in due season, that thou givest them. They gather.
Thou openest thine hand. They are filled with good. Thou
hidest thy face. They are troubled. Thou takest away their breath.

(08:48):
They die and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth
thy spirit. They are created, and thou renewest the face
of the earth. The glory of the Lord shall endure forever.
The Lord shall rejoice in his works. He looketh on
the earth, and it trembleth. He toucheth the hills, and

(09:10):
they smoke. I will sing unto the Lord as long
as I live. I will sing praise to my God.
While I have my being. My meditation of Him shall
be sweet. I will be glad in the Lord. Let
the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let
the wicked be no more. Bless Thou, the Lord, O

(09:34):
my soul, Bless ye the Lord. The Bible reminds us
God is not just the creator of the world, but
he is the provider and sustain her of all creation.
We can rely on him to provide everything we need
for this life and for eternity. Put your trust in

(09:55):
Him and rest in his provision and protection. To night,
breathe in the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord. Breathe
out any stress and tension in your muscles and joints.
Feel his goodness, Restore your body and renew your mind
and spirit. Feel his faithfulness. Warm your heart, and satisfy

(10:20):
your soul. In his goodness, he will pour out his
blessings and favor upon you as his beloved creation. In
his faithfulness, he will care for you and sustain your
heart with His bread. With your next breath, be filled

(10:40):
with the truth of the Lord. As you exhale, Allow
his word to quench your thirst and satiate your appetite.
Like the lions that seek God for their food, seek
God for your daily bread. No satisfaction does not come
from bread alone, but from the Word of God. Lift

(11:04):
your spirit to rejoice in His provision, to rejoice in
His presence. Think of a time when you doubted God's provision,
or when His provision was not enough for you. Confess
any fears and doubts you may have. Confess any resentment
or envy you have in your heart toward God or

(11:25):
towards others. Ask for his forgiveness and for his help
in trusting him enough to give you what you need.
Pray his desires for your life will become your desires.
Breathe in his love and mercy. Breathe out your guilt
and shame. Know the Lord sustains all creatures great and

(11:50):
small on earth, so he will sustain you too. Take
a deep breath. Release any tension in you and any
anxious thoughts in your mind. Rejoice in the name of
the Lord. Think of a time when He provided what
you needed at the right time. Thank Him for his

(12:14):
provision in your life. Thank him for his protection over
you as you sleep. Think of a person who needs
God's provision tonight. Pray God will give them what they
need to quench their thirst and satisfy their soul. Pray
they will put their trust in Him tonight. As your creator,

(12:38):
God already knows what you need. So approach God's throne
with confidence tonight and lay your requests before him. Ask
Him for the things you need and for the desires
in your heart. Know he will provide for you at
the proper time. Pray for God's provision in a specific

(13:02):
area of your life. Pray he will help you find
satisfaction in his presence and in his word. Pray for
God's protection tonight as you sleep. Pray he will sustain
you through the night. Pray for God's presence to fill
your space with his love and joy. Pray he will

(13:25):
fill your heart with his praise and peace so that
you may find rest that will refresh your mind, body,
and soul. Take a deep cleansing breath, be filled with
the joy and praise of the Lord. Exhale slowly and

(13:46):
allow his goodness and faithfulness to soothe your soul and
calm your mind. Relax your body, close your eyes and
meditate on the beauty and wonder of God's creation. Allow
His light to shine upon you, keeping you warm and

(14:07):
safe throughout the night,
